What is the difference between "ser difícil de" and "ser díficil"

Hi, Inma

I translated the sentence "it would be very difficult to determine it." into "sería difícil de definirlo", and the correct answer removed the "de".

But when I translated the sentence "that will be hard to forget for tango lovers" into "que será difícil olvidar para los amantes del tango." the correct answer asked me to add a "de" after "difícil".

I'm so confused now.

Saludos

Hola Wenli

The answer is in this Kwiziq lesson, precisely about when to use fácil/difícil vs fácil/difícil de

Let us know if you still have some doubts about it after having a look at the lesson.
